no, the last I heard its still legal in the U.S. states of California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, Vermont, and the U.S. territory of Washington, D.C.. The first same-sex union in modern history with government recognition was obtained in Denmark in 1989 (although historian John Boswell cites numerous same sex unions in pre-modern Europe).

No. Mass. has gay marriage on the books. Connecticut has civil unions which are somewhat close. Hawai'i has a domestic partnership law (I believe).
There are 45 states that have either laws or constitutional amendments defining marriage as between a man and a woman. In some of those states, there is room for civil unions or domestic partnerships. In some, they are disallowed.
Yes, Vermont also has a civil unions law as well.

So far as I know, Massachusettes is the only one to actively perform them. That having been said, it's not explicitly banned in all other states. Many will accept out of state or even out of country same-sex marriages.

No, it isn't.
However, very few states completely allow gay marriage... others compromise with 'civil partnerships', not quite marriage, but somewhat of a similar concept.

No, but a federal ammendment is underway. Maybe soon. But as far as I know only in the neighborhood of 20s...
